€28m was the figure which is £21m. Also supposedly offered him £180kpw wages. I will believe it when i see him leaning.

£28 mil for a guy in the last year of his deal seems flipping steep to me, especially with a poorish injury record and relative loss of form. Unless there's a serious bidding war going on it makes no sense to me to pay that much. I was hoping we'd seen the last of paying over the odds but if this is true it would seem not. I trust Klopp in terms of judgement of the player but that's a big fee under the circumstances.

To be honest, in this day and age of transfers, a 23 year old World Cup winner who still has his best years ahead of him (injuries notwithstanding) should be commanding a fee of £30-£40m, I would estimate.

As a very (and I mean very! ) rough guide, transfermarkt have him valued at £26.75m and they always underestimate values by 30% or so compared to what players actually go for.

He has one year of his contract left, and he had other big clubs after him as Ed002 (I think) has stated previously.

Therefore, if we have signed him, £21m is a good price.

Does mean we will probably cash in on, I would guess, Lallana, or that Coutinho has been courted elsewhere and has decided to move for CL (for which I wouldn't blame him, sorry as I will be to see him leave) .

If it's the former, I doubt we would get much less than £20m for Lallana, so add on fees notwithstanding, I would say that's a good bit of business for relatively little outlay. Yes his wages will be a lot more, but I think he would become one of our key players.

Firmino-Goetze-Couts behind Studge or Divock would be fantastic!

Price is relative to performance and is all about value in my opinion. If he comes in and plays a major part in contributing to us winning the league then no one complains about his price tag or wages. If he doesn't then he is expensive and a mistake. Firmino is in this catagory - very expensive with no one else willing to pay that much but has been impressive in his first season in the prem and so he is showing value.

Leaning on a Melwood wall, getting his picture taken.

Leaning at Melwood, another TLW devotee!
I agree, until I see that pic it's all bull to me.

Leaning on the wall in the photos. I think our photographer likes to take a photo of our signings that way :P.

If I remember right, the Eds also said Lfc are interested in rafa silva.
I'm starting to wonder which of the current starting forwards are going to have to make way by the end of next season- assuming we sign both gotze and silva, and assuming the new boys perform as expected and begin to claim regular starting places?
Is it just depth of squad ready for CL the season after, or is it possible that klopp is preparing a plan to replace coutinho and lallana by end of next season?
What do people think is the plan behind the signing of two top quality forwards when we already have coutinho and firmino?

23 May 2016 07:55:23
Could be one or the other anonymush.
Although I don't see Götze as a priority, Origi/ Sturridge/ Ings ahead of Coutinho, Götze and Firmino (rotating position) sounds good.

What I like about Götze is he reminds me of Beardo in his pomp. Beardo had it all, a great dribbler, great vision, great composure, a fantastic shot. He was such a great outlet to relieve pressure on the team and Götze has this ability too.

Has Goetze still got all his teeth, Ron?

If not, I'm sure Skrts could sort that out for him on his way out :)

Leaning against the An field sign at Melwood? Normally one of the first photos we see of a new signing. Possibly misspelt signing and predictive changed it lol.

{Ed023's Note - I know, I totally forgot about it}

Ed023: New LFC signings are invariably pictured leaning on something, hence redmax's comment.

{Ed023's Note - I know cheers, totally forgot about it when editing the post}

Can anyone who has seen Gotze play tell me, does he take freekicks or corners well?

Because I would spend £30m just to see Milner not take any more corners.
The number of corners and freekicks we win and waste is frustrating to say the least.

Busted because Goetze say he will stay at Bayern.
